A CONvICT,s SUICIDE.
Deliberately Getting Under q Falling Tree
to be Crushed to Death.

Deliberately Getting Under q Falling Tree
to be Crushed to Death.
A strange story of convict's suicide
comes from Coahoma county, Miss. A
gang of convicts were clearing land on
Fisher and Yerger's plantation, some
distance back of Friars Point. They
had just chopped large tree until its
stately head was tottering in the air,
and the woodland giant commenced to
fall, when the word was given to run.
The convicts and guards all retreated
but one, negro named Nose Smith,
sent up for six months before from
Pamela county to serve a ten-years' sem
tence. Smith was on the side toward
which the tree was falling and made no
attempt to run. He threw down his ak,
folded his arms, and with smile play
ing about his features gazed steadily at
the falling tree as it bore swiftly down
directly on him. The guards and other
convicts shouted at the doomed man, but
he needed them not. The towering mass
of wood reached the ground, there was a
crash of broken boughs, and all was still
except the echoes, which reverberated
through the forest. The immense weight
of the tree crushed Smiths body out of
all shape, and when the tree was rolled
away only flattened pile of blood
stained clothing, flesh and bones re-

quit, Of Georgia, uses gold pen, writes
slowly, and ID very particular about dot
ting liis i's and crossing his is. He does
this almost as soon ss he writes them.
Senator Payne, of Ohio, likewise uses q
gold pen. He writes nervously, slowly
and very small hand, which is cramped,
and at times badly written. Senator Har-
ris, of Tennessee, writes mediumly fast |;
while Allison, of Iowa, uses, like Senator
Morrill,, quill pen, and he makes It fairly
fly across the paper. Senator Wilson, Of
Maryland, writes slowly, small hand,
but quite plain. Senator Edmunds writes
quite fast, but very bad hand to read.
Senator ingalls,, from Kansas, now Pres
ident Of the Senate, puts on his glasses,
looks to see If there is fly speck on his
paper, grasps his pen, and makes 1t move
across the paper like plowshare.
Thus 1t will be seen that there is great
variety of penmen in the Senate Cham
ber, and perhaps 1t Is well for the cor
respondents of many that the private
secretaries write the letters for the SEN
ators. JOHN o. SHRIvER.

"Ah hal" he to the grocer said, affairs are
in a pretty state; ask for tea, get herbs
instead. Your very salts adulterate.
''That cask of sugar, too, is from an anti
quated brand; all doctored with your
devilment, the bulk of it is made of
sand"
He paused for very lack of strength. The
grocer, unctuously and sweet, said to this
bilious chap at length: "There-easy
now-pray have seat.
"You are most exacting man, it's very evil
dent to me; I try to please you as can,
but can't put emeralds in tea.
"And chicory's the very best, which with
coffee can combine; unless, perhaps, you
would suggest gold dust, or something in
that line.
"Glucose in the molasses cask I must admit to

ask, SO that you would get your moneys
worth.
"As to the sugar and the sand-that sir's a
chestnut, stale and flat. You must dis

up with that.
"Don't kick up such great ado. Reduce
your wrath to normal size; think Of the
competition, too; somebody must econo-

customer begged leave to state, then went
and got his life insured and dived in

the best and fattest animals are slaugh

A FAST OF 1O5 DAYS.
The Strange Case Of Miss Mary Baker, of
MOnOn, Indiana.

The Strange Case Of Miss Mary Baker, of
MonOn, Indiana.
The case of Miss Mary Baker, of Mo-
non, White county, Indiana, who tasted
for 1O5 days is exciting widespread atten-
tion.
Miss Baker is eighteen years DID, a bru-
nette with fair features. She is of German
parentage, but speaks both English and
German fluently. Her weight previous
to fasting was 1873 pounds.
DR.. Clayton, of Monon, the family ply
sician, who has watched the case closely
says that Miss Baker enjoyed good health
prior to January, 1886. She has from
birth suffered from a pain in the left side,
and has always been light eater, fire.
quently finishing her meals before other
members of the family fairly commenced
Miss Baker was treated for nervous
troubles at different times until last Octo-
ber, when she succeeded in taking in one
hour several doses of valerian, which had
been prescribed. The patient sank into
sleep which lasted five days. On
awakening she was given quantity of
water, which was at once elected, and
and thereafter for 100 days the
patient could retain neither food nor
water on the stomach, and did not ex-
perience sense of hunger, the smell of
food even being offensive. All the senses
were very acute. She could tell the time
from clock in darkened room which
the attendants could not see at all. One
of the attendants, widower forty years
old, is said to have been very devoted to
Miss Baker prior to the fast, and during
the long period he scarcely left her side a
moment.
A spasm was produced every time the
stove-door was opened, during which the
pain in patients left side increased, and
was only relieved by the pressure of hands.
Since the 1O5-day .period Miss Baker
has eaten small quantities of food and
suffered occasional relapses. Emaciation
is most perceptible about the waist and
hips. Until two weeks ago she could not
speak above whisper.
DR.. Clayton says the fast was undoubt-
edly caused by nervous prostration and a
foreign growth in the stomach. The fast
is one of the most remarkable ever re.
| corded.

Birds and Brutes Threatened with Exter.
minstion to supply Trade.
There seems to be no limit to the devasta-
ton of fashion, says writer in Our Country
Home. The process of exterminating birds
of gay plumage for the decoration of cloves
of bonnets' has gone SO far that the scientific
world has lifted up both hands in protest.
The elephant seems destined to become
curiosity of the past on account of the un-
sparing greed for ivory, which gives him no
chance to perpetuate his species. The Indian
government has tried to protect him by
stringent season laws, but statutes are almost
powerless against human avarice. The croc-
odile bids fair to go, since his hide is wanted
by the purse-makers and shoemakers. Tha1a

Did you ever hear of funeral without
q corpse? Yet such contradiction is
not unknown in one of the out-of-the-
way corners of New York. The people
who are responsible for unsubstantial
funerals of this sort are the orthodox He
brews who live in the streets that lie close
to East Broadway-once the shopping
and residence street of the Quaker Sec
tion Of the town, but long ago abandoned
to tenements and tiny cellar stores. These
orthodox Hebrews are as strange and en-
teresting to the Hebrews we meet every
day as they are to the Christians. They
endeavor, as nearly as possible, to inforce
the ancient laws of Moses and the
prophets strictly to the letter, and do moi
allow Western civilization or modern life
